Offset

Biography

Kiari Kendrell Cephus, known professionally as Offset, was born on December 14, 1991, in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Growing up in Gwinnett County near Atlanta, he was raised by his mother as his father was absent during his childhood. From a young age, he showed an interest in performance, even appearing as a backup dancer in a Whitney Houston music video in 2002.

Migos

In 2008, Offset formed the hip hop group Migos with his cousin Quavo and Quavo's nephew, Takeoff. They gained widespread recognition in 2013 with their single "Versace," which was notably remixed by Drake. The group's 2017 single "Bad and Boujee," with a significant performance by Offset, became an internet phenomenon and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Migos went on to release several successful albums, including "Culture" (2017), "Culture II" (2018), and "Culture III" (2021), before disbanding in 2023. The group's signature triplet flow became a defining sound in modern hip-hop.

Solo Career

In addition to his work with Migos, Offset has had a successful solo career. In 2017, he released a collaborative album with rapper 21 Savage and producer Metro Boomin titled "Without Warning," which debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 chart. The album included the hit single "Ric Flair Drip." He has also been featured on several hit songs, including Tyga's "Taste" and Kodak Black's "Zeze." His debut solo album, "Father of 4," was released in 2019 and featured the Grammy-nominated single "Clout," a collaboration with his wife, Cardi B. His second solo album, "Set It Off," was released in 2023.
